A certain merchant Of our &C
quaintance thus addressed one Of
his colored customers: "Look

A. is going to sue you, aud you

of your property--some cows--

will have to foreclose my mort
gage in order to secure myself"
Whereupon Uncle Pete replied:
"Bs quiet, boss; nobody can't get
ahead of you on dem COW, cause

We can't see how the South
gets on SO we'll as she does, con-
sidering the fact that very nearly
everything used here comes from
the North and West. Buttons,
thread, pins, needles, shoes, hats,
clothes, meat aud bread; IN fact,
nearly everything one can men
ton or think OF that is consumed
in the South, comes from the
North or West.
The amount of money spent in
Georgia IN one year for tobacco,
snuff and cigars, amounts to very
snug little sum. And, after all, ii
can only be said that the money
was spent to satisfy filthy, nasty
habit that has done the human
family as much harm as any habit
that could possibly be mentioned
Another small batch of agents
struck this place lately. Among
them was Mr.. Montgomery with
his combination plowstock, which
we think good thing.
There is some talk OF the organ
ization Of q reading club in the
village sometime soon. We think
this move in the right direction
and we hope that all those who
feel Interested will take an active
part and help to make the Sasssr
reading ciuo a success.
Our place is naturally one Of
the most beautiful and lovely
places in Southwest Georgia, and
should VS. be favoled with the
Columbus Southern, and have a

other Improvements that will nee.
essarily be made, we will have, We
think, the eden OF the South.
